The effect of NaCl on the rheological properties of suspension containing spray dried starch nanoparticles

► Rheological properties of spray dried starch nanoparticle suspensions were affected. ► NaCl was found to reduce viscosity of suspension containing starch nanoparticle. ► NaCl was found to restrain the gelling of suspension containing starch nanoparticle. ► NaCl was found to reduce the storage and loss moduli during frequency sweep. ► Addition of small amount of NaCl was found to lead to high creep-recovery.
